About Butterflies & Vintage Dreams
I create these butterfly and vintage-inspired designs on 300 GSM watercolor paper, not directly on the phone case. This gives you a high-quality art insert that you can slip into any transparent case and swap out whenever your mood changes. Whether you are looking for a moody dark academia butterfly or a soft, nostalgic vintage design, you can update your phone's look instantly without needing a new cover.
Why Choose Paper Inserts
Instead of painting directly on plastic where the design might chip or fade, I use high-quality, cold-pressed watercolor paper. This keeps the artwork vibrant and allows you to own multiple designs. You can switch from a dark, gothic butterfly wing on Monday to a light, coquette-style floral butterfly on Friday, all with the same transparent case.
The Artistic Process
Every piece in this collection is a labor of love. I use a mix of gouache for its opaque, matte finish and watercolors for soft, ethereal blending. For the 'Vintage Dreams' aesthetic, I often incorporate elements like tea-stained backgrounds, handwritten script, and moody, muted color palettes that lean into the dark academia trend.
Customization & Care
- Base Material: 300 GSM watercolor paper, tailored precisely to your specific phone model and camera layout.
- Style Options: From Monarch butterflies and blue morphos to abstract bohemian shapes and vintage book page backgrounds.
- Durability: Because these are inserts, they remain protected behind your case, meaning no surface wear, no scratches, and no dulling of the paint.
If you have a specific species of butterfly you love, or an old book quote you want included in the script, just let me know. I love creating pieces that feel personal and unique to you.
